We’re thrilled to announce that Tony Nguyen, filmmaker of “Year of the Cat”, will be joining #VietFilmFest2025 for an exclusive Q&A immediately following the screening! ✨🎥📅 Sat, Oct 11 @ 4:00 PM 📍 The Frida Cinema, Santa Ana 🎬👉 Grab your tickets now — link below!vietfilmfest2025.eventive.org/schedule/68a9152ff509f30538c05431About Year of the Cat:Oakland-based filmmaker Tony Nguyễn (VFF 2015’s Giap’s Last Day at the Ironing Board Factory) is known for his documentaries exploring the Vietnamese refugee experience, beginning with his 2011 directorial debut, Enforcing the Silence. In Year of the Cat, Nguyễn turns the camera inward, focusing on a personal story that continues his commitment to overlooked narratives within Vietnamese American communities. The film’s experimental visuals and voiceover blend create an “investigative home movie” feel, inviting audiences to join Nguyễn in asking difficult questions about identity, history, and belonging. Selected for the 2025 editions of Asian American International Film Festival in New York and CAAMFest in the Bay Area, Year of the Cat marks a significant moment in Nguyễn’s evolving body of work. ...

🪁 “Let There Be Work (Et le travail fut)” is set to screen at Viet Film Fest 2025! 💙🎬💛🎟️ Tickets on sale now — Click the link below! vietfilmfest2025.eventive.org/films/68a2bc47bda566c5fbab631f“The film will remind some cinephiles of documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s style – extremely long takes without cuts, languorous pacing, purely observational footage with no outside commentary or narration, scenes of everyday conversations and meetings, and no central subject for the audience to latch any emotions to. Let There Be Work charts individual paths toward collective organization, and the compromises necessary for this white-collar utopia to stand. It highlights global societal issues through a localized experience – in a Vietnam undergoing rapid Westernization and economic growth.” - Linda Nguon, Viet Film Fest’s Curatorial Committee Member 💙💛✨ “Let There Be Work (Et le travail fut)” is a part of our virtual festival #VietFilmFestAtHome! 🎬 From Oct 4–19, films are accessible to our community worldwide and across the diaspora. Tickets are just $15 per film—watch anytime during the festival run, with 24 hours once you hit play. 🌏🏷️ Filmmaker Tags: @tuongvinguyenlong ... See MoreSee Less
